xp_logsLunch time gets a little sticky when Lil tries to help Catseye with her 'people food only' resolution.
Coming in from the smoker's porch, Lil's stomach had decided it was time to eat and as her room - more importantly, the roommate who supplied food - was floors away, she'd taken it upon herself to raid the big kitchen. Her lack of culinary skills left the options limited but the giantess was sure she could pull together plenty for a sandwich or two. Collecting the ingredients from various cabinets, she left any behind with names but took freely those that were not labeled - would serve people right - then placed them on the counter, though her golden head did lift when she heard the sound of another's footfalls enter the room.
The footfalls were actually the noises of a rather large housecat pouncing on a pink robotic squid every two seconds. Pounce, release. Pounce, release. It was great exercise, and also a way for her to use up the extra energy she had, and her anxiety, now that Catseye was off of hunting mice. But the pouncing made her hungry and since she was determined to only eat human food, she'd been herding MiniSquid into the kitchen. Spotting Lil, the cat made a final, exuberant pounce that sent her sprawling, laid out on top of her toy, and let out a loud "mrrrrrrrrrt!"
Lil smiled at the girl-in-cat-form while she fixed her sandwich. "Heya Fuzzball. Haven't seen you around much. Found someone else's bed take over?" Two slices of bread were slathered with peanut butter as she talked to the student, still beaming from ear to ear after the night - and morning - she'd spent in the arms of a certain ex-cop.
"Mrrrrrow!" the cat replied, sounding upset, wrapping her tail around MiniSquid and jumping up on the counter where Lil was making her sandwich. Catseye thought SillyDreamsWoman would be angry at Catseye for losing the game because of the mice. She sniffed at the bread cautiously. Now that she'd decided to eat like a human, she was even more interested in different kinds of human food. This stuff smelled interesting. Tentatively, she reached a paw out and dabbed it at a corner of the sandwich, then sat and held the paw up to her nose.
"You hungry?" she asked, popping open the jar of nutella and adding that to her sandwich. Lil wasn't mad at her; she was a kid - sorta - still learning and no one had actually died in the screwy arena. Had they'd lost students for real, the blonde would be pissed but little could be done about that now except to learn from the mistakes. "Want me to make you a sandwich, too?"
Catseye licked at the peanut butter on her paw and made a face- or as much of one as a cat could make. The stuff was sticky! She let out a hiss directed at the sandwich and backed away, shaking her paw to try and get the stuff off, then jumped off the counter, still shaking her paw and dropping MiniSquid so she could open the refrigerator door with her tail. Standing on her hind legs she looked up into the fridge and grabbed a package wrapped in butcher's paper from a shelf, pawing the door closed and presenting Lil with the meat, the whiff of pastrami making her mouth water.
Lil's nose wrinkled but she took the pastrami from Catseye anyway. "I really don't think this will taste good with what I'm making, Fuzzball. But if it's what you want..." She gave a shrug and put it on the counter. "I'll make it for you after I'm done mine, okay?" she asked, dropping the knife into the sink then opening a bag of potato chips which she layered on the bread before smooshing the whole thing together.
The cat's eyes widened at the sight of what Lil was doing, and she jumped up on the counter to sniff at the sandwich. "Mrrow?" She wasn't so keen on the peanut butter, but maybe pastrami and potato chips would make a good sandwich? She pawed at the bag of chips, batting it towards Lil and the pastrami.
"Things would be a hell of a lot easier if you'd switch to being a girl, Cats," the blonde chuckled. While yeah, she was adorable as a cat, Lil didn't speak feline. Plus, she felt a little stupid holding a conversation with what appeared to be an animal. She laid out two more pieces of bread. "You want them on the sandwich like mine or on the side and what else do you want on it? Mustard?"
She wasn't a fan of being told that she should be a girl, but since she was only eating as a human she would have to shift soon anyway, so Catseye did so now, sitting on the counter with her legs over the side. "Catseye would like them on the sandwich, please. And Catseye will try mustard please, yes. Does SillyDreamsWoman want mustard on hers?" she asked politely, jumping off the counter and retrieving the mustard from the fridge.
"No, Lil does not want mustard. My sandwich is done," the tall blonde said with a smile. She liked the girl and found it almost entertaining how she shifted not only between bodies but worlds it seemed. Feline and human. What a trip. "Do you want anything else on it?" she asked, putting slices of pastrami on the bread first. At least it was real meat and not rodent meat.
Catseye shook her head. "Catseye would not like anything else on it please, SillyDreamsLil." She was eying the peanutbutter and nutella and chip sandwich warily. It smelled interesting. She didn't like the fact that it was sticky but she was curious about it, looking for new foods to try that would fill the void mice and birds and frogs left. "Can Catseye try?" she asked, poking the bread with a claw.
The Canadian nodded once, pushing her plate closer towards the student. "Sure," she said with a shrug, squirting some mustard on the sandwich she was preparing then spreading it so the purple-haired girl wouldn't get a mouth full of Frenches. "Little bit of chocolate, little bit of peanut and some crunch - all the basic food essentials."
"No meat," Catseye pointed out, though not to be mean. She took a small bite of it and made a face. The stickiness of the peanut butter was very unpleasant, and she spat it out on the counter, but that didn't make it go away. It was stuck to her mouth. She wiped her tongue with the back of her hand, but the taste and the stickiness was on the roof of her mouth, and she didn't know how to make it go away. "SillyDreamsLil, Catseye does not like!" she cried out. "It is ickybad! It won't come off! Make it go away!"
"Have some milk," Lil suggested, desperately trying not to laugh. Poor thing - how could she have gone so many years and never had peanut butter? "The milk will help it get unstuck." The blonde woman even went to the cabinet to fish out a glass for the purple-haired girl whose reaction was still forcing chuckles she had to bat down so as not to make Cats feel bad.
